If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my time as a TV critic, it’s that when Allison Jones is listed as a show’s casting director, you’re going to be in for a treat. So, after watching the pilot of AppleTV+’s new show Widow’s Bay – which had a host of actors in it that I […]
It took me several episodes to really fall for the charms of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the new AppleTV+ series based on the novel of the same name, largely because there’s a lot the series needs to set in motion in those early episodes before we really get a chance to see just what the […]
I’ve never actually seen an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. I think I was just right at the perfect age to not care about the series when it initially premiered in 2000. And while I was aware of it – the basic premise, the fact that Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek were unhinged comedic […]
A key tenet of showbiz is to leave them wanting more, and I’m happy to report that Hacks does just that with its fifth and final season. After four seasons of watching the constant push and pull between Deborah Vance (the sensational Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder, who has matured into a true […]
I’m going to be very honest here: I hated watching The Testaments. It’s not that it’s not an expertly crafted series, it is – the writing is good (if a bit on the nose), the acting is stellar (especially the core group of young women at its center), and the design of the show is […]
The final season of The Boys is not all that dissimilar from season four of The Boys. Or season three. At this stage of the game, I think everyone knows what they’re getting with this series – and if you’re on board, well, you’re going to have some fun with this final ride. Because, as […]
I’ve been pretty up and down on For All Mankind, AppleTV’s alternative history series built on the question, “What if the Soviet Union had made it to the Moon before the United States?” From that question springs a host of twists and turn on history as we know it, including the Soviet Union lasting into […]
Lisa Kudrow is extraordinary. That’s what I kept telling myself as I watched season three of The Comeback. She’s just extraordinary. The journey she – and co-creator Michael Patrick King – have taken the washed-up (but always hustling) Valerie Cherish on over the course of twenty years is nothing short of extraordinary. And while season […]
I will admit that I was wrong about Jury Duty when its screeners appeared in my inbox several years ago. I had been a big fan of the first season of The Joe Schmo Show – a 2003 series on Spike TV wherein an unsuspecting “normie” was thrust into a fake reality TV competition series, […]
When I saw the cast list for Imperfect Women, the new thriller from AppleTV+ based on the novel of the same name, I was excited to see just what it was about. Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom, Jr. What a group of excellent actors. And then I watched […]
